This is actually a really good point. A lot of privacy-related things people complain about are actually related to how you present yourself, how your identity is seen by the computer system you’re interacting with.

That’s been on my mind a lot lately, so much that I wrote a thing about it: https://kronopath.net/blog/segmented-identity-as-necessary-f...

They're simply being put up to their own standards. They shut down anyone for a slightest mistake, so I'm just not going to feel sorry for them for their own incompetence or because it's hard. If they fuck up, the government will bail them out. If smaller companies they often destroy fuck up, no one will bat an eye. Split them up if necessary, maybe that will fix at least some of the problems.

Agreed. I surveyed the existing medical literature on the topic in about 2018 (or was it 2017?) and conclusion was that it is still a very active area of research with a lot of controversy.

Anecdotally, I have a low-grade myopia which gets observably worse after a lot of near work or sitting the whole day in front of a computer. I can pretty consistently reverse through the use of print pushing and use of anti-corrective lenses (basically forcing myself to look at a slightly out-of-focus image each day). It also consistently worsens when I stop doing it, especially when I stop spending time outside.
the memes about the money printer were pure gold - and totally right given the madness of the past couple weeks.
InfoSec and Legos – Listening to Users
I can't speak to the writer's opinion, but there are plenty of us who prefer drivers who speak our language fluently, follow hyenic norms, and follow a dress code that is workplace appropriate. You do not need to be an immigrant to be deficient of these norms. In fact, as far as personal personnel anecdotes go, I do not see more inappropriate attire or a lack of hygiene from them compared to anyone else in other service industries.

When I lived in a smaller city in a different state, a large percent of the taxi drivers were from a specific country and did not know English very well. The details of a taxi trip are communicated orally, so this was quite inconvenient. A lack of hygiene and clean clothes isn't a deal breaker or anything, but it certainly feels out of place in a service with an expected tip. (I think the hygiene/dress issue is more based on the lack of standards in the taxi companies, especially when they have a monopoly on the service--even the cars were unkempt.)

I'm now in Florida with the option to Uber. I never have a problem with non-English speaking Uber drivers. 99% of the time, everything material is communicated through the app, 1% of the time, we have fun trying to communicate whatever small detail needs to be discussed.

TLDR: No idea if the writer is being nationalistic, but I feel the taxi industry I experienced was sub-standard and the workers were actually less hygienic, while Uber doesn't have that problem and makes it easier to work with those who do not speak your preferred language.

Studies of deliberate undercorrection show a slight acceleration in myopia progression. Myopia progression slows and stops naturally after adolescence, whether you wear the correct prescription lenses or not.
It's a problem with a subjective answer.

I'd be interested in this. I picked up a C2 last year, and have no need (or desire) to replace it. But supplementing it with something I can use on an iPad would be great.
For hard addicts, I don't know, they'd do anything to get their fix and that can manifest in unproductive ways for the society: theft, muggings, etc. I'd actually let incurable cases of addiction get their fix for free in exchange for some things such as bathing regularly, stay in shelters at night and not wonder the streets, etc. I'd be a win-win situations in my opinion.
Living in NYC allows me to see a very large number of homeless people. And what makes it really worse is that there are sometimes almost 1-to-1 to train cars and there is no way of escaping the stench on trains. If you weren't forced to be stuck in a subway car with a homeless with half of the car packed and the other completely empty except for one sleeping stinking homeless person.
The other day my wife took my kid on the train and a homeless guy started smoking on the train. When the train got off she got off that car and got on the next one. It was worse, the smell of rotten gangrene is not something I'd wish upon anyone.
I asked the optometrist. He was a little offended that I wasn't going to use the new measurements but I pleaded with him enough that he relented.

One very interesting thing that convinced me to start doing this: if you get measurements taken at night (vs early in the day), your prescriptions will be stronger as your eyes are already tired. So your new glasses may be too strong for you but your eyes will adapt to it and become worse.
> You're telling me 10,000 (if even?) guys sitting at home doing retail trading have $1M each in positions driving this? 100,000 people with $100,000 each, during the day?

No, it's the same retail people trading in and out. Someone w/ $100 in buying power can generate $2000 in traded value pretty easily just buying & selling 20 times, which some retail people do because they don't know what they're doing.

There's also going to be HFT market makers flipping their position and taking the other side, which almost doubles the volume compared to what it would be if there were no MMs. It's not a capital intensive business and they can trade huge volumes with very small capital.

Then there's going to be GME options market makers who are getting gamma squeezed and hedging their deltas. That would explain a bit.

The hedge funds getting squeezed explain about ~30m of the volume (assumption that 50% of the short float got squeezed), or perhaps more if they covered their position yesterday and decided to put it back on today.

Probably also some totally new hedge funds coming in today with a short as well, although that won't explain much volume since the entire float was shorted (and them some, due to naked shorting) and naked shorting is technically not allowed.

I'm sure all the prop firms were all over it today, as well, and they're going to be in and out with up to $1m positions.

I understand the nihilism. When you start earning vast sums of money very quickly, and see other people do the same, you start getting a sense that money isn’t really worth working all that hard for.

I’ve been making about 5k or 6k a week regularly this past year in the stock market with little effort, through stock appreciation and selling options. It definitely makes me feel less motivated to do my job, but the one thing that keeps me going is that I know this situation is not forever and the market goes through feast and famine cycles, so I need to maintain a job. But certainly nothing more ambitious than that, I have no plans to ascend into management or whatever bullshit that has me taking more work and responsibility for slightly more pay. Once I have a resilient source of passive income I’m off to be a gentleman hacker. Working hard for money is a waste of life.
>You're telling me 10,000 (if even?) guys sitting at home doing retail trading have $1M each in positions driving this? 100,000 people with $100,000 each, during the day?

Matt Levine wrote about this in his Money Stuff newsletter today. I highly recommend the newsletter.

In summary, the options have an amplifying effect on the total volume because of the hedging by market makers. Pair it up with a meme stock, and you have a lot of weird stuff happening all at once.

Primarily explained in the 2nd paragraph, but setup in the 1st paragraph.

"Second, a lot of people (on Reddit) who like GameStop don’t buy stock; they buy call options. If you are a retail trader looking to gamble on a stock, you can buy call options to get leveraged exposure to the stock. For instance, last Tuesday (Jan. 19), you could have bought a $50-strike call option on 100 shares of GameStop stock expiring this coming Friday (Jan. 29). Bloomberg tells me this option would have cost you about $3.35 per share, or about $335 for a 100-share option contract; the stock closed that day at $39.36. If you sold the options on Friday (Jan. 22), when the stock closed at $65.01, they were worth $18.16 per share. 4 You put in $335 and got back $1,816; you made a 442% return in four days. If you had just bought 100 shares of stock instead, you would have had to put in $3,936 to get back $6,501, a 65% return. Of course if the stock had stayed flat instead of going up to $65.01, you’d have lost 0% by buying shares and 100% by buying the options. So options are great if you have a relatively small amount of money and want to take a lot of risk with it. If, for instance, you are a retail trader on WallStreetBets."

"Meanwhile the market maker who sold you the options would have hedged its option exposure by buying about 40 shares of GameStop stock, for about $1,575. (This—the fraction of the underlying shares that the market maker buys to hedge the option—is called “delta.” 5 ) Your $335 of option premium caused $1,575 of stock buying. More important, as the stock goes up, the market maker will adjust its hedge by buying more stock—by the end of the day on Friday, the market maker would have owned about 80 shares. (The change in delta as the stock price changes is called “gamma,” and people who like this sort of technical explanation love talking about “gamma.” 6 ) You haven’t done anything else—you bought the options on Tuesday, and then stopped trading—but the market maker kept buying hundreds of dollars more stock as the stock went up to keep the option hedged. 7 Multiply that by the extreme popularity of GameStop options, and you get a lot of stock being bought as the price goes up—which, of course, pushes the price up more."

I've been seeing these news articles popup every few weeks. Some new startup is flying with an electric motor and batteries. It always leaves me wondering, why are so many of these GA retrofits going with batteries instead of a hydrogen power plant? Is it just "simplicity" or are they betting that batteries are going to shed substantial weight in the coming years?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the reason why the article keeps repeating that is not a desire to provide the most detailed information about the breach...
Sheesh!
Creative ideas for stolen vehicle recovery
I already know what you are thinking. Here is another crazy stalker trying to find their ex-partner.

No. Actually not the case.

I'm seeking legitimate advice or guidance and even assistance in locating a non-phone cellular device.

My vehicle was stolen recently and Lexus has told me that I can't track the vehicle because I'm not enrolled in their special service. Bullshit!
Well great. I have spent hours talking to them trying to find solutions. I have called dealerships. I have even reached out to some very backdoor knowledgeable people. All turn out to be a bust. But the best piece of information I was able to acquire is the MEID number for the cellular transceiver in the vehicle. The device is made by Denso, and is qualcomm 3G CDMA. I would assume that the device can be triangulated or at least to a general area.

It's difficult to find a legitimate service for a legitimate reason. Most search results are flooded with the bullshit services claiming they can...im not a dumb dumb but don't know where else to turn.

please no obvious possible solution replies like "have you tried calling a dealership" because yes I have thought of that and no they don't do that. So please...no "did you restart your modem" answers.

much appreciated. any assistance that leads to the recovery of my vehicle successfully will be rewarded.

In my family (n=basically_none), it seems that myopia correlates strongly with habits. The most bookish, indoors-y kids ended up in glasses - and the more so, the thicker the glasses - while folks who spent their childhoods running around outside tend to have 20/20 vision.

Assuming such an effect really exists, I expect it would be very difficult to statistically distinguish from straight heredity. Kids' early childhood habits tend to reflect family culture.
On top of that the fraud seems to actually have been committed mostly by the side that is accusing the other side of it.

Which makes sense, when you hear from your news sources that the other party is committing massive fraud, that gives some people an excuse to do so too.
I changed my resting tooth/jaw position recently, too, and it's made a big difference. I used to feel more stressed out in the mornings, and I was sure it was because of jaw clenching I would do at night which is now largely gone.

And this is going to sound weird, but I've taken it even further by buying some baby chew toys off Amazon and chewing on them for maybe an hour a day. The benefits I've seen since starting about six months ago are 1) less teeth stress/pain at night and in the morning, 2) less nasal pressure/stress (pretty sure I have more breathing capacity through my nose now), and 3) I feel my face has widened ever so slightly but that may be the jaw positioning alone.

That requirement could have come from the government. It's not a crazy thing to ask for when you're launching literally hundreds of satellites into LEO.

Plus, the last thing SpaceX wants is a news story about killer satellites raining debris on innocent citizens. Remember that each satellite launched has to be deorbited eventually, so if they're launching dozens of sats per month they'll eventually be deorbiting dozens of sats per month. If they don't fully burn up each one will have a chance of hitting someone. Sure the chance may be very small, but when you're rolling the dice dozens or hundreds of times per month eventually you're going to land on snake eyes.

I run a small company and offer an app to monitor sales reps work. Managers use it also to see how much time employees spend in the field. To count how much time is spend in some specific location my app uses background location updates.

10 years ago I was distributing just the apk file. Then I moved to Play store. It turned out that most people on their company owned Android devices don't configure Play Store. App updates are disabled until you log in. So I had to educate my customer employees how to log in to Play Store and install my app. The additional benefit was that people had security updates of Chrome and other apps.

Two months ago my app was suspended after I made all necessary changes to support Android 10. The Gbot claims that background location updates aren't essential for my app. As you may guess I wrote appeal without success. My customers pay mainly for that time report feature but Gbot knows better what my paying customers want.

And I just do not care about securing my customer devices and Play Store any longer. Now I distribute apk files again and train people how to install apk files from unknown sources.
Looking back at this comment, I realize now that it's pretty pointless... just excited to play with stuff. Sorry folks! Enjoy your day.

in the wiki article it's stated twice that they feared coming back due to this (once going back only disguised as a Chinese person. Although the second time he came back it appears he did not hide his identity). I'd bet it's a question of credibility. E.g. would you risk that the Japanese do not believe you and hence kill you? It's tough.
Is that measured on a monthly or yearly basis? Are those incomes reconciled with increases of cost of living?

You should compare workforce participation from 1999 and 2021, and you should compare savings rates by age bracket.
I have been paying attention to r/wallstreetbets for the past few weeks - I don't have the source handy (it was on WallStreetBets), but there are reputable big name funds / companies who are long on GME. Other big name companies are short, of course, and the WSB community has picked a side in this battle.

So the idea that WallStreetBets is a significant player in all this is nonsense and actually might be propaganda flak coming from the "responsible" people in the media, etc - journalists in the financial sector love rumors and such things and it is a nice cover story as "fog" to hide the fact Wall Street is so manipulated by the big players.

None of these reasons are as important as transistor count / mm^2. If you can shrink die size in half, you can effectively reduce its cost by half as well. Processing wafers through 400 steps in the fab and its capacity is limited by how many useful chips you can build on a given 300mm wafer.
